WTF happened to dual wielding? :(

No in Reach and no in Halo 4? What’s up with that? Dual wielding is fun as HELL! Plasma rifle + Magnum! OMG! :slight_smile:
Duel wielding is just so much fun! PERIOD! Some may disagree but overall it’s fun. For example - Team SWAT, Duel Pistols so fun :slight_smile: (IMO)

I don’t understand… why 343 not adding dual wielding back in Halo? It’s not like its OP in any shape of form.

Everything about HALO 4 is 99% PERFECT for me at the moment, that 1% is indeed the dual wielding for me hehehe :slight_smile:

Your thoughts? ^^

The weapons aren’t balanced right for duel wielding.

It had its run for two games and with competative gaming being what it is i dont see it ever comign back. it worked for Halo 2 and 3 but i think after they took it out in ODST and with alot of the weapons being two handed, i dont see it returning any time soon

I’m looking forward to dual-wielding in Halo 5 along with the return of the Plasma Rifle and SMG!

Spoiler alert: no dual wielding ever again, in any halo game, EVAR!!! /sarcasm

I can’t say I like dual wielding at all, so I’m fine with its exclusion.

They couldn’t balance it properly. Their reasoning was the dual wieldable weapons were underpowered when carried alone and overpowered when dual wielded, so they scrapped the idea. I’ll miss it, it was a cool concept. Halo 2 dual wielding was the best.

It was a silly gimmick for casuals /sarcasm

In all honesty, it could be cool at times, but I’m not exactly pining its exclusion.

You should be able to dual wield Magnums and that is it. Seems fair.

and not as many dual wieldable weapons as their used to be

I’m not sure why you’re so supposed; Dual-wielding hasn’t been used in the past two games.

Honestly, because it just doesn’t make sense to have dual-wielding. Spartans can flip over vehicles, use a knife to cut through armor, and can jump 5-6 feet in the air. However, they can’t pick up two guns and fire them at the same time. You see how that makes perfect sense? Since 343i is trying to make the multiplayer more realistic and canon, they had to throw out such nonsense as being able to hold two guns at the same time.

I dont see it making a return. THe weapons would need a major change and others would have to come back. Do rememeber players did ask for the pistol to return for years and it finaly did in Reach. Id rather not go threw that again

I want to duel wield SAW’s.

preorder canceled.

The great thing about dual-wielding is that you don’t have to pick up a second weapon. :wink:

It’s unbalanced in multi-player, but I wanted it to see some form of dual wielding in the Campaign, as balance doesn’t come into play there as much. :frowning:

It was fun for a while but it’s time to move on.

Duel Pistols in SWAT seems fair :slight_smile:

Pretty sure you just stated why it WOULD make sense.
